Overview
Course description
🌱 Animal naturopath: the art of caring for animals naturally
Naturopathy is a philosophy. It is a holistic medicine, which means it is
concerned with the health and well-being of the animal as a whole. It
does not consider symptoms as a problem to be eliminated or
suppressed. Unlike conventional medicine, a naturopath uses symptoms
as a roadmap to determine the root cause of illness. He treats the animal,
not the disease, and more precisely seeks to support the animal and its
self-healing system by identifying the origin of the imbalance rather than
eliminating the symptoms.
The role of the animal naturopath is also to teach the owner how to
actively participate in his or her pet's health. The demand from pet
owners is strong, and the need is real. In today's industrialized and
polluted environment, pet owners are looking for natural alternatives
that are far more affordable than the high cost of veterinary treatment.
Because we realized that there were few resources and training courses
dedicated to holistic animal care, we have set up an innovative and
practical certification for anyone who wants to contribute to the health of
dogs, cats, rodents, birds or horses.
🐱 Healing the animal and educating the owner through the power of self-healing
Nature has endowed the animal with a body that is the result of centuries
of evolution. According to a global vision of health, the body has the
inherent capacity to heal itself. Every illness has a cause, manifesting
itself on a physical, mental or emotional level, and symptoms simply
express the body's reactions to heal itself.
In our animal naturopathy training course, you'll discover which foods
provide animals with what their bodies need for a healthy life. You'll
understand the importance of reconnecting the animal with a natural
environment, less polluted air, contact with the sun, pure water and
physical exercise. You'll be able to determine the animal's emotional
needs and meet them with appropriate techniques.
You'll learn how to treat and prevent illness using natural supplements,
essential oils, phytotherapy, homeopathy, massage, Bach flowers, EFT
and Reiki. You'll have a rich palette of different therapeutic tools at your
disposal to be as effective as possible.
Finally, you'll discover the most common pathologies and illnesses that
affect your pet's health. In each case, natural remedies will help restore
your pet's physical and emotional well-being and vitality.
👨⚕️️ What it means to be a naturopath for pets
If we take care of ourselves more often, we sometimes forget to take care
of our pets. Yet they need our undivided attention, and we need to listen
to their moods and troubles.
Generally speaking, naturopathy offers - to those who practice and
benefit from it - a holistic approach to health, with the basic principle
that the body is a whole, and that it has the inherent capacity to heal
itself.
As an animal naturopath, you will learn to :
Establish an assessment by observation and interview with the animal's owner;
Determine the animal's emotional needs;
Understand the environment in which it operates;
Adapt the animal's nutrition to its needs;
Treat or prevent the most common animal pathologies using natural supplements, herbs, essential oils...
Involving owners in the process of healing, maintaining and improving the health of their pets.
👩🎓 Who can benefit from certification in animal naturopathy?
It is open to all. You don't need a degree in veterinary medicine or animal
anatomy to benefit from this knowledge. This course is open to anyone
who wishes to master the practice of natural animal medicine. Above all,
it's a question of intention and dedication to the animal and its well-
being.
This certification is aimed at :
- Individuals wishing to learn how to better understand their
companion;
- Caregivers, companions and volunteers working for animal
protection associations;
- For those who, as animal lovers and enthusiasts, wish to set up a
professional business in a relatively new and certainly very
promising discipline;
- Veterinarians who wish to discover and apply a more natural and
less invasive approach to their practice;
- Naturopaths, aromatherapists, phytotherapists or holistic
practitioners already in practice (or in training) who want to
diversify their knowledge and offer new services to their
customers.
A special module is dedicated to those wishing to set up as animal
naturopaths, with invaluable advice on how to get organized, find a
clientele and make the most of every opportunity to succeed in this
adventure.
🚀 How does the training work?
Time is often an obstacle for many people wishing to train. We all have
obligations - family, work, associations - that don't always leave us free to
do what we want, when we want.
Need a month or a year to finish your training? No problem! You don't
have to worry about a final exam deadline. The course is available 24
hours a day, so you progress according to your availability. The most
important thing is that you succeed, and that you thrive in the learning
process.
Once you have registered on the training platform, you have access to all
the modules that make it up. Each module is available for download in
PDF and audio format, and includes a theoretical section, a series of
exercises, and videos illustrating massage and treatment techniques.
At the end of each module, you can take a knowledge test to check what
you've learned. You can actively participate in the learner discussion
forum, and interact with the trainers if you have any specific questions or
difficulties regarding the concepts defined and described in the program.
Once you have studied all 14 modules, you take the final exam, which, if
passed with 80% correct answers, entitles you to certification. If you fail,
you can retake the test at no extra cost.

HolisAnimal was created out of a simple belief: animals deserve care that respects their nature, not just their symptoms. We saw a growing interest in holistic animal care, but also a lot of confusion. Information scattered across traditions, practices, and opinions. Some helpful, some not. Our aim with HolisAnimal is to bring clarity, structure, and responsibility to this space. Our courses are built by compiling knowledge from respected holistic disciplines, practitioner experience, and long-standing natural approaches to animal wellbeing. Rather than following a single method or philosophy, we take a considered, balanced approach. We look at what has stood the test of time, what is used responsibly in practice, and what supports animals without over-intervention. HolisAnimal is for people who want to understand animals more deeply and care for them more thoughtfully. That includes pet guardians, aspiring holistic practitioners, and those already working with animals who want to broaden their perspective. Our learning is practical, accessible, and grounded. We encourage students to think critically, work ethically, and always consider the individual animal in front of them. We are proud to support a growing international community of learners who share these values. For us, HolisAnimal is not just an online academy. It’s part of a wider shift toward calmer, more conscious ways of living and working alongside animals.

Frequently Asked Questions
You have the questions, we have the answers.
How do I sign up for a course?
Just pick the course you’re interested in and click “Add to cart.” When you’re ready, head to the checkout and complete your payment. You’ll get a confirmation email right away. If you want a printed certificate, you can choose that during checkout too!
How long does it take to complete a course?
That really depends on how many pages you go through per day or week, and of course, on your previous experience. The course is completely online and self-paced, so there are no deadlines. Once you’ve purchased the course, you’ll have lifetime access to all the material. It’s made up of several modules, some are lighter, while others a bit heavier. For most students, completing the entire course takes around 40 hours.
If I need help with the course, can I ask a question?
Yes, absolutely. The student forum is available for this purpose, you can post your questions and either a mentor or another student will get back to you, usually within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). And feel free to share your wins too!
I can’t log in or forgot my password, what should I do?
Start by checking your inbox and spam folder for your login email, especially if it’s your first time logging in. Make sure you're using the same email address you used when signing up and that you're on the correct website. If needed, click “Forgot Password?” on the login page and follow the steps to reset it. If the email doesn't arrive, double-check your spam folder and try again. Still having trouble? Just reach out to our support team at [email protected], we're happy to help and usually respond within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). We recommend saving your login details when you receive your registration email to avoid any issues later on.
Do I need to attend anything live, or can I study whenever it suits me?
The entire course takes place online and is fully self-paced, so you can study whenever it suits you best. There are no trips, workshops, or live classes required. You’ll get access to course modules as downloadable PDFs, audio files, and in some cases, videos. You study independently in your own time, and if you have any questions, you’re always welcome to ask them in the forum.
How am I assessed during the course?
You’ll find short quizzes at the end of each module to help you reflect on what you’ve learned, they’re NOT graded and are just for your own understanding. At the end of the course, there’s a final multiple-choice exam that is graded. You’ll need to score at least 80% to pass. Don’t worry, if you do not achieve 80% your first time, you can retake the exam at any time.
Are there any prerequisites?
There are no prerequisites or minimum educational requirements. All our courses are carefully designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. You can study from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. If your internet connection is unstable, we recommend downloading the PDF modules and audio files so you can access them offline whenever it suits you. Just keep in mind that you’ll need an internet connection to complete the quizzes and take the final exam.
Do I receive a certificate at the end of the course?
You will receive a printed certificate if you selected that option during registration. Otherwise, you can order it later at any time from your student portal under the "Certificates" section – OR download it for free as a PDF.
Are your certificates officially accredited, or are they just for personal development?
The professions for which our courses prepare you are part of the unregulated occupations in most countries. This means there is no official recognition. However, local regulations may vary. We recommend that you inquire with the relevant authorities. Our courses are designed to provide essential foundational knowledge, making them an excellent starting point for anyone looking to enter a new field or expand their expertise. They equip you with practical skills and a deep understanding of the subject matter, enabling you to either begin your career or enhance your existing expertise in a cost-effective way. Our courses are accredited by respected international organisations. That said, the fields we train for aren’t regulated in most countries, so recognition can vary depending on where you live. It’s always a good idea to double-check with local authorities if you're unsure.
Why are the courses sometimes discounted so much?
We believe that quality education should be accessible to everyone, not just a privilege for a few. From time to time, we offer significant discounts to open the door for more people to learn, grow, and discover new opportunities. It’s part of our mission to make personal and professional development more inclusive, regardless of budget.
